We used to think that our ignorance is bliss 

But we can't keep on thinking 

That this moment doesn't exist

There's people fighting and fighting and fighting

For all that they own



It seems we twisted reality again

Looking for the opportunity for us to dig in

We're getting deeper and deeper and deeper

Into the unknown



(We've got to open up our eyes)



[Pre-Chorus]

How long will we close our eyes to the youth?

How long until we recognize the truth?

How far will we let this go?



[Chorus]

It's a state of emergency

It's time we see

There's a need to take action

This is a state of emergency

We're too blind to see

All of these simple distractions



All our attention is directed to the mirror

We want to forget that people live in terror

We're their only way out and the time is right now

We gotta grab a hold of this moment 



[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus 2x]



How far do we let it go

Before we all take control

We are the hands 

We are the feet

So we gotta go

Stop waiting for someone else 

To take control

(Take back the control)

We could be their last hope



[Chorus 2x]
